Hello All,

There are many header map entries in the class file, which is making my script very long and unreadable. Decided to move all the header map entries to a separate class file and "Extends" it to the main class.

There is already a "simulation" class extended to the main class and Java doesn't allow to extend more than one class.

Any suggestions on how to move the HTTP headers to a separate class file?

Regards,

Bharath.

Simply do a constant (static final).

Probably like this:

public class Helpers {

  public static HttpProtocolBuilder httpProtocol(String productBaseUrl) {
    return http
        .baseUrl(productBaseUrl)
        .inferHtmlResources(AllowList(), DenyList(".*\\.js", ".*\\.css", ".*\\.gif", ".*\\.jpeg", ".*\\.jpg", ".*\\.ico", ".*\\.woff", ".*\\.woff2", ".*\\.(t|o)tf", ".*\\.png", ".*detectportal\\.firefox\\.com.*"))
        .acceptHeader("*/*")
        .acceptEncodingHeader("gzip, deflate")
        .acceptLanguageHeader("en-US,en;q=0.5")
        .doNotTrackHeader("1")
        .userAgentHeader("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:96.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/96.0");
  }

}

And in your runner file:

HttpProtocolBuilder httpProtocol = Helpers.httpProtocol("www.blahblah.com");

I found the solution, following is the implementation

Created a separate class file with all the HTTP header maps shown below example

package webapps;

import io.gatling.javaapi.http.HttpProtocolBuilder;
import java.util.Map;
import static io.gatling.javaapi.http.HttpDsl.http;

public final class headers {

public static final Map<CharSequence, String> headers_90 = Map.ofEntries(
Map.entry("Accept", "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8"),
Map.entry("Upgrade-Insecure-Requests", "1")

public static final Map<CharSequence, String> headers_91 = Map.ofEntries(
Map.entry("Accept", "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8"),
Map.entry("Upgrade-Insecure-Requests", "1")

....

);

In the main class, I have imported the above-mentioned class as shown below.

import static webapps.headers.*;

Now the main class file is readable.

Bharath.

I am looking to move all the HTTP headers as shown in the below example to a separate class file so that the main class file is readable.

Stephane suggested using "constant (static final)", I am not sure how to implement it.

private Map<CharSequence, String> headers_89 = Map.ofEntries(

Map.entry("Accept", "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8"),

...
);

Regards,

Bharath.
